As soon as he had deposited his brother at the hotel, he came back again, and in answer to Ermine's "Well," he demanded, "What she thought of his brother, and if he were what she expected?" "Very much, only older and feebler. And did he communicate his views of Mackarel Lane? I saw him regarding, me as a species of mermaid or syren, evidently thinking it a great shame that I have not a burnt face.
RHUBARB SAUCE. To make a mock gooseberry-sauce for mackarel, reduce three dozen sticks of rhubarb to a marmalade, and sweeten it with moist sugar. Pass it through a hair sieve, and serve it up in a boat. Mock gooseberry-fool is made of rhubarb marmalade, prepared as for a pudding. Add a pint of good thick cream, serve it up in glasses, or in a deep dish.
We sometimes see the dory, which is called St Pierre; with rock-fish, bonita, and mackarel. The gurnard appears pretty often; and there is plenty of a kind of large whiting, which eats pretty well; but has not the delicacy of that which is caught on our coast. One of the best fish of this country, is called Le Loup, about two or three pounds in weight; white, firm, and well-flavoured.
"Why, I suppose Colonel Colin is his own master now," said Bessie; "and if he has no objection I do not see who else can make any." "There are people in the world who are what Tennyson calls 'selfless," returned Alick. "Then the objection comes from her?" said Rachel, anxiously. "So saith Lady Temple," returned Bessie. They were by this time in Mackarel Lane.
"No," sais I, "you say you can't git but three and a half at Halifax, and I won't beat you down, nor advance one cent myself. But mind, if I oblige you by buying all your mackarel, you must oblige me by letting me have all the wood I want." "Done," said he; so we warped into the wharf, took the fish on board, and I paid him the money, and cleared fifteen pounds by the operation.
Thee sayest thy name is Jehu; now he was a hard rider, and it may be thee drivest a hard bargain, if so, go thy ways, for thee cannot 'make seed-corn off of me; if not, tarry here till this company goeth, and then I will talk to thee touching the thing called mackarel.
"For I would lonely stand Uplifting my white hand, On a mission, on a mission, To declare the coming vision." "Well, Grace, all things considered, perhaps I had better walk down with you to Mackarel Lane, and then I can form a judgment on these Williamses without committing Fanny." "Then you do not intend to go on teaching?"
"Oh," said he, "mackarel is only worth three dollars and a half at Halifax. I can't sell mine even at that. I have sixty barrels, number one, for sale."
"It's ten dollars and a half," said he, "a cord at Halifax, and it don't cost me nothin' to carry it there, for I have my own shallop but I will sell it for ten dollars to oblige you." That was just seven dollars more than it was worth. "Well," sais I, "that's not high, only cash is scarce. Could you sell me twenty cord?" "Yes, may be twenty-five." "And the mackarel?" said I.
Shall I take any message down to Mackarel Lane?" "Are you going?" "Well, yes, though I hardly ought to venture there till this embargo is taken off; for she is the one person there will be some pleasure in talking to. Perhaps I may reckon you as the same in effect."
